1. A person having a claim under another policy, which claim arises out of the same facts which give rise to a covered claim, is first required to exhaust the person’s rights under the other policy. An amount recovered or recoverable by a person under another insurance policy shall be credited against the liability of the association under section 518C.6, subsection 1, paragraph “a”. For purposes of this section, “another insurance policy” means a policy issued by an insurance company, whether a member insurer or not, which policy insures against any of the types of risks insured by an insurance company authorized to transact insurance business under chapter 518 or 518A, or comparable statutes of another state, except those types of risks set forth in chapters 508 and 514.
